Solar Power

Solar systems designed around how your home uses power

Panels, inverters, batteries and EV charging, specified, installed and certified by one local team. New build or existing roof, we size solar around how you actually use power, then handle the network approvals and paperwork so you do not have to.

Lower, more predictable bills

Every kilowatt-hour you self-consume is one you don't buy. Most households offset a large share of daytime load, and a battery lets you store surplus daytime generation for use during the evening peak.

Protection from price rises

Generating your own solar power reduces how much electricity you need to buy from the grid, helping protect you from future price rises.

Backup when the grid drops

With a hybrid inverter and battery, nominated circuits such as the fridge, lights, internet and heat pump keep running through an outage.

Better use of an EV or hot water

Shifting EV charging and hot water heating into daylight hours is the fastest way to lift your savings without changing how you live.

Value for new builds

Designing solar in at consent stage means clean cable runs, appropriate roof space and fewer retrofit compromises.

Lower emissions

Clean generation on your own roof, backed by a team that already handles your heating and ventilation.

What's in a solar system

A well-designed solar system is about more than just the panels. each component needs to work together efficiently. Here's what we specify and why.

Solar panels

Tier-1 monocrystalline panels chosen for New Zealand conditions, with long performance warranties and roof-specific mounting for tile, colour steel or membrane roofs.

Inverter

String or hybrid inverter sized to your array. A hybrid inverter means a battery can be added later without replacing hardware.

Battery storage

Battery storage starts at around 5 kWh and is sized to suit your evening power use, with backup circuits so essentials keep running in an outage.

Monitoring

App-based monitoring shows generation, consumption, export and battery state, so you can see exactly what the system is doing.

EV charging

7 kW or 22 kW chargers that can be set to top up from surplus solar rather than the grid.

Grid connection

We handle the network application, export approval and metering changes with your lines company and retailer.

What size system do you need?

This is a guide only. We size every system on your actual consumption data, roof space and orientation, not a rule of thumb.

3–5 kW

Smaller households, 1–2 people, modest daytime use

~12–20 kWh/day in summer

6–8 kW

Typical family home with a heat pump and hot water cylinder

~24–33 kWh/day in summer

9–12 kW

Larger homes, EV charging, pool or spa

~36–50 kWh/day in summer

Battery storage & blackout backup

A battery lets you use more of your own solar after dark and can keep essential circuits running during a power outage.
